Archive of Heather Herbert's inhumane comments here. They are upsetting, so that's a content warning. But if someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Unfortunately the usual suspects have shown their true selves. Wishing someone a painful death because they hold another view?

You don’t have to agree with someone’s views to conduct yourself with dignity and grace regarding the reporting of a death.

I don’t suppose dignity or decorum is in the reasoning of someone who takes pictures of themselves on a toilet floor explaining what they were doing to their newly created genitals.

I don’t care for their opinion.

Fucking hell.Angry

Nice to see opportunists like the OP coming out as quickly as they can, lest the window for exploiting the murder of an elderly woman closes.Angry

It's a chat forum FFS. Grow up

Police conference delayed until 5pm. I wonder if they have caught the bloke.

He's been on the loose for perhaps 48hrs given she was found yesterday AM. Not sure how I'd feel if I was an unsuspecting neighbour.

The BBC are embarrassing themselves by persisting with a crummy video link with a Met police.

'Heather' Herbert's actually made a further comment, which is even worse, more graphic, and utterly deranged. I'm not going to share it.

He should be utterly ashamed. This man stood as a political candidate.

The vile male 'Heather Herbert' is typical male behaviour if a trans identified male that worries REAL women. That's the type of male that condons violence towards women who believe in biological sex. He isn't doing the trans discussion any favours at all.

This is exactly why the Home Secretary tells people not to speculate.

The undertone to your posts are quite disturbing.

Don't be ridiculous. I'm allowed to have an opinion. My thoughts are this has nowt to do with race or colour or nationality.

He needs arresting for those posts

Just a vile male who thinks he's female. Wearing a skirt and growing of hair Doesn't a woman make!

A real character of a lady, but she clearly was up for fun. So sad, and shocking. Police seem to have an indication of who they're looking for.

Has anyone seen Peter tatchell recently?

What community? How much are you willing to bet on it?

The male community? I hope.

side note.. I HATE what society has turned into.

anotherdaytosmile · 10/07/2026 16:52

Murder is very rare, so something like this is shocking. Cannot imagine what the motive would be

Not sure what you are implying, but apparently the white male "community".

oh, right. They're one of the 'be kind' lot, which means be kind to them and screw everybody else.

At least Tatchell, as far as I could see from the image posted here just made a statement of fact.

I was never a fan of Widdecombe, fundamentally disagreed with her on many things, but I wouldn't wish pain or torture upon her. That it appears that she was murdered is rather concerning.

Literally. It’s already been confirmed they’re looking for a white male suspect but those that love to assume it’s the non-white ones can’t help but outwardly express such comment at every opportunity.

Spidey66 · 10/07/2026 16:57

That was a shocking development…..

I've already said I knew it was a white male.

I hope they catch the bloke before he potentially ends himself.

I also hope Ann was unconscious before she knew what happened.

The comment here wasn’t referring to a ‘non-white community’. We know what they meant.

TBC, of course, but yeah, that’s where my money is too…

EnquiringMindsWantToKnow · 10/07/2026 17:02

I read her autobiography and she basically said she knew the public would have voted for her as PM but that fellow politicians weren't having it.

So what exactly are you saying? It’s a white male ‘loony leftie’? Or an albino Muslim? Or a chiropractor? What are you even on about?

The police don't usually launch a murder inquiry for every sudden or unexpected death.

https://news.devon-cornwall.police.uk/news-article/6b0d4452-6d7c-f111-9d98-6045bdd24049

If you read my further post I was not aware it was a murder investigation when I posted 🙄

HowManyHints · 10/07/2026 17:04

The police could start with arresting this man Heather: he has shown such hatred and sounds dangerous. They could jail him for a hate crime later but I bet he doesn't even get a knock on the door!

As he was an official Labour Party candidate, I would also like to see the PM disown him publicly and kick him out of the Labour Party.

I guess that won't happen either.

Could be any of those. It could be a white man who thinks he is a woman...who knows!

Bloody hell. Just reading about this. It’s horrific. She was an eccentric character.
